Courtesy of YahooTV, our first look at 'The Strain could prove a bit jarring for some to see 'House of Cards' star Corey Stoll with hair, wearing a wig to portray the character of Dr. Ephraim "Eph" Goodweather. We also see the CDC forming a quarantine site around an airplane, of which fans of the original series will naturally recognize the significance.

Based on del Toro’s 2009 novel trilogy, ‘The Strain’ follows Dr. Ephraim Goodweather, a CDC operative who investigates a mysterious viral outbreak with hallmarks of an ancient and evil strain of vampirism. As the strain spreads, Eph, his team and an assembly of everyday New Yorkers wage war for the fate of humanity itself. FX’s adaptation will see a run of 13 episodes beginning in July 2014.
